Radisson Hotel Manchester

I have been to many hotels over the past few months as an active traveler. The Wynn in Vegas, the Ritz in DC, etc. Very few can compare to the level of practical service at this hotel.
Highlights:
Free wifi
Free printing at business center
24 hour gift shop
Sleep number beds
Friendly staff (let us borrow their stapler, pointed us to a local fedex, and since we were there for an event, actually placed our event items on the correct table when they came in via mail to the hotel)
Late late checkout (I checked out at 3pm)
Reasonable bar and restaurant prices
Large rooms
Close to the airport (MHT)
Quality toiletries
All this without being gaudy, or charging outrageous prices. I was very impressed with my stay, and would definitely recommend it.

Was in town for a reunion (Valentine’s Day weekend) and stayed at the Radisson for it’s close proximity. Reunion started at 5:00 p.m. a few blocks away, and got to the hotel right about 5:00 p.m. Was looking forward to changing clothes and running right over as to not miss the party…
Except for the fact that the room wasn’t ready… at 5:00 at night. I have stayed all over the country from boutique hotels to Red Roof Inns and honestly have never had this happen at another hotel, that late in the day, and certainly expected more from a Radisson.
This meant I couldn’t change my clothes, unless I wanted to do so in the public bathroom. It also meant I had to go to the reunion and come back to the hotel to check-​in, then go back to the reunion, on the coldest night of the freakin year, mind you.
It seemed to be a busy weekend, but the room was about $ 200 a night, and I couldn’t even check into it at 5:00 in the evening. There was very little in the way of an apology except for an offer for free breakfast… I’m sorry, but that’s just not good enough. If I’m town again I’ll be staying down the street at the Hilton and unless you want to deal with the possibility of showing up to no room to check into, I would suggest you do the same.

We stayed here a few weeks ago and had a great stay. The hotel staff was friendly and our room was clean and comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room. We had a sleep number bed and it was kind of cool, but didn’t really seem worth it. My boyfriend has an oversized vehicle that didn’t fit in their garage, but they were super nice about it and they let us park in the employee lot which was right behind the building.

Really great staff — they were super accomodating and frinedly from check in to check out. Sleep number beds allow you to adjust your mattress to your personal comfort level. Room service was expensive, but prompt. Parking was super easy. A great place to stay if you’re visiting Manchvegas.

I stayed her for a conference and couldn’t wait to write my review. The hotel is very clean and welcoming, and decorated in a natural, modern style. It sits in picturesque Manchester. My room was impeccably clean. The walk-​in glass showers were great, and they provided high quality toiletries. Who can resist those little bottles of shampoo? The pillow top bed was incredibly comfortable. One of my coworkers even got a sleep number bed. She hit the comfort jackpot! For the most part I’m writing this review because of the staff. Every person I encountered was helpful and professional. I had a hard time with my room key when a maintenance man happened to walk by. He immediately offered assistance and found my key was defective. Instead of instructing me to get a new key from the front desk, he did it for me. Room service was also very polite, friendly and quick! And, thanks Radisson for having a vegan entrée of grilled portobellos and veggies on your menu. The dish was delish and so welcome after a long conference.

It’s supposed to be a 4 star hotel but this is not any better than the usual 3 stars. Management was very useless and the customer service is definitely subpar.

We were visiting Manchester recently and picked the Radisson as it was the closest to downtown and walking distance to most of the places we were headed. Overall the hotel was ok but I don’t think we’d stay there again simply because the walls are PAPER THIN. I’ve honestly never experienced anything quite like it. I’ve stayed in hotels before where you can hear that a conversation is taking place in the room on the other side of the wall but at this hotel you can literally hear, word for word, the entire conversation. It was awkward! The people weren’t yelling but we could still hear every word they were saying. And they stayed up LATE talking. We actually got ear plugs for the night. The rest of the stay was fine. Our room was clean, the fitness center and pool were nice and everyone was very friendly. But the paper thin walls just made it too hard to sleep well.

I stayed here with my big dog for the Manchester City Marathon in November. Having never been to Manchester, I was pleasantly surprised by the adorableness of the town and also this hotel.
Aside from a brief negative situation I had with one employee, the remainder of my stay was very pleasant, for the most part. Though I did have to move to another room because people next door were allowing their kid to scream bloody murder and it came right through the connecting door, the hotel itself was very quiet.
The first room I had was a corner room on the top floor, and it was enormous. it wasn’t too updated but it wasn’t old school either. I ended up having to move because I didn’t want to be kept awake all day and all night with a screaming kid and parents who don’t try to control it. So they moved me to the floor below me which had updated rooms and had a slightly fresher appearance. Both rooms were nice though, it’s just that the updated rooms had a more modern feel and better fixtures.
Most of the front desk staff was very helpful. There was microwave (though a weak one) in the lobby so that I could cook my pasta the night before the race. The expo center is connected and is super convenient. I had planned on using the swimming pool but actually just got too darn lazy to get my swimsuit on and venture to wherever it was, even after the marathon.
I did order room service one night, I ordered the veggie burger, which came with fries, and a side salad. It was excellent food. It was one of the best veggie burgers I’ve had anywhere. And the lady who delivered it was so sweet and friendly. I did love the employees at this hotel; they very much cared about my marathon experience and were also interested in my dog.
I also ordered 2 bagels the morning after the marathon via room service, toasted well done with lots of peanut butter and jelly on the side. They were made perfectly and were still hot when they got to me.
You can’t pick a better hotel if you come here for the marathon. I thought the parking was VERY convenient to the hotel (not sure about the other people who said otherwise, I literally walked 20 feet from my car to the door to the hotel on the expo side).
I commend most of the employees at this hotel. The only thing I would recommend is having more front desk agents during peak hours. The lines were quite long, but I never got stuck in them, I just saw them when I was coming in and out of the hotel.
The housekeepers were also very friendly and warm and inviting. Always tip your housekeepers, they’re the hardest working ladies in the hotel! (I know because I used to be one) ;)
I’d fully recommend this hotel.

I’m surprised by the negative reviews. I found this place to be great. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had booked through a booking agency and unfortunately they put us in a room with two queens instead of a king. We called the front desk and they send someone up immediately with new keys to a king size room. Then my sleep number bed was not working correctly, again they fixed the issue right away and the bed was perfect after that. The room was clean and the bathroom was really nice with granite counter tops and new tile. Everything was modern. I also LOVED that the put alcohol wipes with the remotes to use to wipe it down before use (I’m a bit of a germaphobe).
We order room service for breakfast and it was awesome! Hot, fresh and delivered with a smile. My only grip is we were not informed we would be paying $ 10 to park for the night. I don’t mind having to pay for it but I would have liked to know when I checked in that parking would be added to the bill. That’s the only reason I’m giving 4 stars and not 5. If i’m in Manchester I will stay here again for sure.

Lobby was nice with friendly staff. Bathroom with nice updating. Wasn’t a fan of the «sleep number bed». Room smelled like smoke that had been weakly covered up with air freshener. Spacious and what I would expect for the price.

Super nice staff, great location AND my room on the fourth floor was clean, modern with a terrific bathroom. Oh and I had a wonderful view of the park and flowers.

For a hotel in Manchester, this is pretty nice. The rooms are nicely appointed, they have a pool, and there are many conference and meeting options. The only downsides are the slow elevators and the $ 10 daily parking charge.

The Radisson was just a typical hotel for me. Nothing stood out as necessarily positive or negative. The room was clean and nice, the bed was comfy. The employees were nice enough. Everything seemed clean. Didn’t really like the food at the breakfast place there. Can’t say I explored the hotel much as it was just a place to lay my head. Airport shuttle service was very helpful and convenient!

This hotel is a bit old but in a very central location in Manchester.
So I was on the 12^th floor and had an amazing and beautiful view of the city and the mountains in the backdrop. I was able to see some pretty amazing sunsets, however I had to comprise this amazing view with a couple of things.
For starters the 12^th floor has many issues with its toilets. You have to push down the handle for 15 to 20 second in order to fully flush everything down. So while I had a great view of the city I also had a long disturbing view of you know what. I wanted them to fix the issue and someone did come while I was out and about but just left a note saying that it works fine just need to hold it down for a while.
I had a sleep number bed that did not work.
Café at Park has bad service and bad food, unless you are in a hurry don’t do it there are plenty of restaurants within walking distance that you can go to.
I was here for work and the conference rooms were pretty functional but a little outdated.
Overall pretty good experience but I think that next time I might just stay at the Hilton Garden.

Spacious and clean room, comfortable bed, parking is only $ 10 and is easier than at most hotels (why doesn’t everyone just let you use your room key to go in and out of the garage? It is 2013 after all!), friendly staff at check-​in, plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. If you have to be in Manchester, this is a fine place to stay.
I didn’t eat at the restaurant, order room service, or go for a swim, so I can’t speak to those aspects of this place.
By the way, do all Radisson’s have Sleep Number beds now? Though it was comfortable, I still find the entire concept of them a little over the top.

The lasting impression I got from this hotel can be summed up on the morning I was checking out. Normally when I stay at a chain hotel, I don’t think twice about cleanliness as I expect it to be standard protocol to be scrubbed clean. I should have seen the writing on the wall when I saw alcohol pads on the remote control. I was taking a shower and as soon as I started, I noticed a huge clump of long hair on the tile wall. It really grossed me out that a hotel chain like the Radisson could overlook cleaning the shower like that and immediately made me think of what else they could have overlooked cleaning in the room I was staying in. After checking out, I let the front desk know of the problem, and they waived the $ 10.00 parking fee for us. Lets just say I have never had a gross experience like this before. I won’t be staying at a Radisson again.

My room on the 9^th floor was recently renovated: modern furniture, carpets, bathrooms. It was clean, convenient, and moderately priced. I had room service deliver breakfast each morning and they were accommodating, timely, and pleasant (it’s hard to deal with anyone at 6:30 in the morning and these people did not annoy me at all.)
The pub food in the hotel bar was terrible! I had artichoke dip (which tasted like mayonnaise mixed with black pepper) and fish & chips (which was served lukewarm and was the consistency of play dough).

Reasonable accommodations for a small town in New Hampshire, On the pricey side for the location. There is also a $ 10 parking fee. Really, that was a very sore point for me, While many hotels in metropolitan cities offer complementary valet parking to charge $ 10 in a small New Hampshire town is totally outrageous.
On the positive side the rooms were spacious and clean. The bathroom was also clean, however the shower tiles needed a going over with grout-​x. The king sized sleep number bed also required some attention as our’s was asleep and would not number.
An ok experience, but given the choice next time in town I think I’ll check out the Marriott.

This seemed to be the best located hotel to access most of downtown Manchester. Most of the other hotels nearer to the airport seemed to be isolated without a lot around them. Those other hotels nearer to the airport were significantly cheaper than the Radisson and ultimately it probably would have been better just to have stayed at one of those and driven into town for food. If there had been anything notable going on downtown then this would have been a good location but it seemed very quiet around this entire section of town. The hotel itself was decent and the staff were pleasant enough and it was a quick walk to many spots around the area but it just didn’t seem much was happening the nights I was there.

I stayed here last night while in town for a work event. I usually stay at a Marriott chain, however, The Radisson was closer to our event. When I checked in, I was surprised that there was no valet service or assistance with luggage. The lobby was ghost town! Not one customer to be found and there were three employees at the front desk eager to help me. I was told to park the car in the garage and was given a key swipe to get in and out.
Parking: C — Awkward.
Parking is in a garage adjacent to the hotel and you use a swipe to get in and out. It took several swipes just to get the arm of the garage to open. It is very dark in there and looks kind of scary. The elevators to the hotel lobby are not clearly marked and you can easily get confused down there. When you take the elevator up to the hotel lobby, it dumps you off in what looks like an abandoned mall that they call the NH Convention Center. There was absolutely no one around!!! It is quite the walk from this convention center into the hotel lobby.
Rooms: C– DATED
The rooms are VERY dated. Old carpet, old laminate bathroom counter tops, and dusty toiletries that looked like they were 50 years old. The remote control and the phone receiver had alcohol wipes placed on top of them (in the wrapper). I wasn’t sure if this was supposed to gross me out or make me think that they were thoughtful for putting it there. ??? Any ideas??? The beds were HORRIBLE. They pride themselves in having sleep number beds, which I have never slept on. One of the beds in my room didn’t work and the other bed was on the fritz. I felt like I was sleeping on lumps of plastic. Needless to say, I got VERY bad sleep there.
I didn’t try the food.
When leaving the hotel, I dreaded going back into that shady garage. It almost didn’t let me out! The swipe card was on the fritz and I kept swiping and swiping, but the arm of the garage wouldn’t raise. There was no attendant in the booth of the garage and there was no button or phone number to call. I wiped the swipe card on a napkin, thinking maybe it was dirty like the rest of this place, and then it worked! Phew — I was happy to get out.
As a side note, my co-​worker, who stayed with me at this hotel the same night told me that when she went to leave the hotel, a man in the garage stared at her, whipped «it» out, and peed in front of her. GROSS!!! and SCARY!!!
